My point was to use something that I know you are passionate about and love as an example of how an in depth understanding has to come with more in depth language and descriptors.

You know the old adage that eskimo's have hundreds of words for "snow." When I look at snow I see "snow." When they look at snow they can see a vast array of various textures, colors and conditions. We're looking at the same snow.

You're tasting all those descriptors you mentioned, you've just not given them proper names and compartments in that big brain of yours.

Tell ya what, some day you, me and kleinbl00 are having a wine tasting :)
